Hi Jens,

I have always resented the fact of getting payed in any way for 
developing gedit. For me, gedit is free both in terms of speech, and 
beer! Your appreciation is all we need to keep going. If you really want 
to donate some money you can indeed do this to friends of gnome, so all 
of gnome can benefit from it :)
